pointed out that the irientification of Otala atomnrfa, Sclium., 

 with I/elix lactea, Miill., might be erroneous, wliich would 

 not mean any error of Pilsbry's, but of Pfeiffor's. However, 

 I liave since convinced myself that Schumacher himself 

 mentions the identity of his atomaria with lactea. There 

 remaiiis only tlie question whether an incongruous group 

 whicli consists of an Acavust, a Gibbus, and a Macularia, a.nd 

 wiiicli is of very doubtful etymology, should be considered 

 worthy of being accepted in scientific nomenclature. As 

 regards Marnwrana, Hartm., I have apparently been misled 

 by Martens, who quotes that name as a synonym of his 

 Macularin with the type of H. vermiculata. As I had no 

 access to Ilartniann's work, and expressly quoted Martens as 

 my authority, Pilsbry's comments should have been directed 

 against Martens.
